Reply #16: DU is a busy place, with threads sinking fast due to contributions

from the diligent news hounds.
If a lot of threads are being started and there's not a lot of commenters signed on at the time, it stands to reason that any particular poster could well be the final word on that thread.
I think maybe you are assuming too much power, as everybody knows that the great spaghetti monster has all patterns of the universe in her mind and makes all the real decisions as to which threads live or die and which ones will live forever in a celebrated, idealized afterlife---streets of gold and all that.

Perhaps it would be well to repent of your doubt and power hunger and swear fealty to the Flying Spaghetti Monster before one of those killer posts turns and attacks you.
